On Sunday 1st September, Imogen Illingworth (aged 14) of Westfield URC Wyke, was presented with her Lundie Award in recognition of her faithfulness and commitment. The award was presented by the Megan Tillbrook, the Synod’s Children & Young People Development Practitioner.
In Imogen’s own words, this is what she has said, “Since SHINE began (Serve Him in Everything – Westfield URC young people’s Sunday group) when I was seven years old, I have seen Westfield as my church. I enjoy SHINE more than school because it is more fun and we do things whilst we are talking about the bible. I like helping out with the younger children after the service and helping to serve refreshments to everyone. If I have friends sleeping over I always say to them ‘I am going to church, do you want to come with me?’. If they say ‘no’, I say ‘I am not missing’ and go on my own, but I am always pleased when they come with me. I was very happy to be told I was August’s winner of the Lundie award.“
Kath Lonsdale, Secretary at Westfield URC said, “We are all very proud of Imogen’s faithfulness and commitment to the fellowship and she thoroughly deserves this award. It includes a £100 cheque which she has decided already to split between SHINE for resources and buying items needed for Wyke foodbank.”
Well done Imogen!!
